Cybersecurity has financial benefits, offers product differentiation, and smooths out the patching processes both for product manufacturers and their customers. The importance of cyber defense will go up over time. Cyber defense and security for embedded systems is justified using a total cost of ownership approach, as quantifying economic benefits will help justify faster adoption. […]

For factories and manufacturers, the need for cybersecurity is urgent. This is due to the concerns arising from operation stoppages caused by security incidents, resulting in loss of revenue. Unlike enterprise IT, system administrators face several issues within smart factory security, namely with difficult-to-eliminate vulnerabilities, the spread of malware, and flat network configurations. Furthermore, when […]

While global manufacturing companies are implementing digital transformation to survive and grow, cybersecurity threats have become a top concern. In industrial cybersecurity, the convergence of IT and OT has been an important issue for long time. There were inconsistencies in technology and environment, and also in people and processes. This survey provides insight into the […]

All critical infrastructure is under cyber attack, all the time. The attack on the Oldsmar, FL water supply is a good example. And it’s getting worse; vulnerability to cyber attack is increasing as the embedded devices controlling these critical infrastructures become more connected. The DevOps approach to software development offers an antidote—an opportunity to embed run-time […]

Last month, a major water utilities firm in the UK revealed plans to move a significant part of their SCADA system to the cloud. This is one of the most high-profile transitions of OT to managed cloud services to date. Though moving Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to the cloud has been theoretically possible for at least 10 […]

For many years, industrial control systems—often called “Operational Technology” or OT—have been relatively safe from cyber attacks. The control and telemetry systems used in industrial plants and manufacturing environments were typically placed on isolated or “air gapped” communication networks, and the systems themselves were based on highly specialized operating systems which were difficult to attack […]
